There are several forms of Intelligent Alters ("Alter", short for Alternative Personality [AP]). Obviously, a personality was not present, except for a personality of an intelligent form of life.

In the last half of the 1900's, artificial forms of intelligence were beginning to be programmed (constantly being improved) for computers, vaguely having "human intelligence" [HI], called Artificial Intelligence [AI]. GE investigated, worked on & wrote about AI, since the 1950's, & including but not limited to [ibnlt] his "nom de plumb", since the 1980s (such as Dance by the Light of the Earth).
